Does anyone have any low cooking butane cooking tips? I looking to try to focus on conserving butane. I only bought min rice since I got out here but I still use pasta. I been cooking more things trying to cover heat it up hot then turn off the stove and let the trapped heat finish the cooking without wasting more butane.
I been able to so far last almost 12 days on the current butane bottle. Very pleased with that but how long can you guys stretch a butane bottle? (im sure proprane is more popular but im in a minivan so I find it easy to fit into my space. might switch down the road likely for sure after this winter in quartsite. Unless I can't find butane in New Mexico.. havn't needed to search for it but likely will have to stock up in a few weeks when I pass through a BIG city again)
I think if I cook the pasta to a boil and wait a min or two then I could turn it off and let it finish covered. Havn't perfected the method. My morning eggs I have they turn out great (but the toast is pretty soggy) I been cold brewing (at room temp overnight it's cool down to 40's or 50's usually) coffee and I love it! Iced coffee every day!
I more want to downsize my butane usage to keep me from having to carry more than 4 bottles and being able to make it last during times I'm running low, than an issue about the cost.
If anyone has any tips or thoughts be great to hear em. Thanks![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
